MONDAY: VIVIENNE WESTWOOD MENSWEAR AW 13/14 pt.1

VIVIENNE WESTWOODMENSWEARAW 13/14this week on MAN MONDAY i have picked 3 shows from Mens Fashion Week that have really caught my eye for one reason or another. There is so so much more out there that is great and i really urge you to take some time to go and have a look..I'm kicking things off here though with VIVIENNE WESTWOOD, whose collection for AW 13/14 stood out to me for several reasons:the mix of tailoring / street style here is brilliant and to excuse the pun - seamless. I am loving the tailored trousers with big bomber jackets or hooded jumpers. Every look is so well put together but take a minute to look at each piece individually and i think that is where the real strength of this collection lies. the slightly high waisted cut of the trousers below is a perfect example...also, as you may notice in my posts i am a h u g e fan of 'street style' clothes / accessories / looks - and this feeds my needs!

ACCESS THE LOOK:1. mix and match your suit so that you have clashing fabrics in the jacket and trousers (see second look from the top) this has been at a lot of the shows this year and is going to be a big look2. layering is key to this collection - play around with textures and colours in your layers3.experiment with colour and be brave!
